An Introduction to Compassion Focused Therapy for Depression with Dr Chris Irons

This workshop will introduce participants
to the basic ideas and interventions used in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
with a particular focus on how the model can provide a useful way to understand
and work with depression. CFT was initially developed to work with
presentations high in shame and self-criticism, we will explore how these
experiences can be common in depression.
